#1 of 8 Paint issues by red_dodge Apr 25, 2008 (10:38 am)
the Clear Coat on my 2000 Dodge Dakota is peeling off. Ive noticed that this is a common problem with Dakotas and Rams. I was wanting to know how other Dakota and Ram owners have dealt with this problem and about how much should I expect to pay for it.

Same problem on cab top of my red 1998 Dakota. I lightly feathered the edges of peeling clear coat and used spray can of clear coat to touch up area. It's not a new paint job but it looks better than the peeling paint.   However, I am noticing other areas starting to peel, so I am sure that the only real fix is a complete new paint job. I have not priced a new clear coat paint job, but I am sure it is expensive, especially for a 10 year old truck!

Replying to: red_dodge (Apr 30, 2008 9:10 am) My 1998 Dakota Club Cab started going bald a couple of years ago (2006 or so) and now has great balding patches on the hood, roof, "A" pillars and tops of the fenders. It got a new catalytic converter (2 actually) free from Daimler Chrysler, so I was wondering if there is any action with them concerning the paint jobs?

#7 of 8 2001 Dodge quad cab...no luck with dealership by polarisgm Jul 21, 2008 (10:56 am)
My black dakota did this at about 60,000 miles. I spent about 3 months back and forth with the dealership and then directly with the Daimler Chrysler and they basically said this was normal sun damage and that no one else was having this problem!! What a load of bull. They wouldnt do anything to help!!!
